Chapter 4
…Sasuke's POV…
"Naruto, Yoru's necklace is a match. When she handed it to me and I tried to put them together, it fit perfectly. She has to be the heiress," I said in a somewhat excited voice.
"Whoa Sasuke! Slow down. Are you sure she didn't get it from someone else?" "No the opal matches her eyes exactly."
"Well what if she got it from someone with the same color eyes as her," Naruto said trying to convince me. "Sasuke, we can talk about it with Sakura and Hinata this afternoon but we've got to get to class right now." I nodded my head in defeat which was unusual. How did I let myself get so excited about this girl? I asked myself. Oh yeah, that's right. If she's the heiress, I have to protect her.
We ran the rest of the way to our class and managed to get there just before the bell rang. I immediately took my seat between Sakura and Naruto who'd already sat down. Our teacher had gone to get a cup of coffee and wasn't there yet so I took out a sheet of paper and wrote a quick note to Sakura.
Sakura, there's something really important that I have to talk to Naruto, Hinata, and you about. I need you to tell Hinata that we're meeting at Naruto's house so he'll drop off Yoru and then we'll go there. Okay?
I passed the note to her and waited a couple minutes for her response. I had my arms crossed on the desk and I was resting my head on them when I felt Sakura's finger gently tapping my shoulder. I sat up and read the note that she'd passed back.
Yeah, I gotcha. Is it about her? Yoru I mean. I'll tell Hinata in third block.
I balled up the paper and threw it into the trash can seconds before the teacher came back in. Then I turned to Sakura and nodded. She nodded back and we waited for the boring class to begin.
…Yoru's POV…
I'd seen Sasuke and Sakura passing notes and I wondered if he'd believed that stupid girl. I hated having so much ignorance about the world around me. How could I not know what wooden stakes and garlic were used for? Did this mean that I was a vampire and my father hadn't told me? I'm so stupid. I have to find out for sure. I have to ask my dad if I am a vampire.
After school (its boring so I skip it besides she sleeps during English class anyways and Home Ec- 4th block, is also boring)
…Sasuke's POV…
I was the first to get to Naruto's car. He followed shortly behind me and went to unlock it. He got in and I sat in the front with him listening to the radio while we waited for the girls. Yoru got to the car first and sat in the middle of the back seat. "Hey Sasuke," she said to me. Naruto made a pouty face and she added, "And Naruto." Naruto's face spread into a wide grin and I shook my head at him.
After we waited for a few minutes Sakura and Hinata appeared from within the school building. She must have been telling her about us meeting at Naruto's, I thought. "Sorry we're late Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled as she got into the back seat in the passenger's side. "Don't worry about it!" Naruto yelled back. I held my ears as he spoke since I wanted my hearing very much, thank you. When I turned around, Yoru was also holding her ears.
Who knew I could find someone who is so much like me? I asked myself as I looked at her. It's as if she's me in a female form.
I quickly turned my head away as I caught a glimpse of her eyes opening. Naruto had already started driving out of the student parking lot and now we were waiting for the light to turn green. When it did, he immediately pushed down on the gas pedal and the car went flying down the streets. It only took about ten minutes to get across town to Yoru's new mansion. How does she afford this place? I thought as she got out of Naruto's car and walked up her driveway.
When we left Yoru's house we headed straight for Naruto's. After maybe ten more minutes of driving, we got to his house and everyone got out of the car.
Naruto's house was a small two-story house with a kitchen/dining room, a living room, and a small bathroom on the first floor. On the second was his large bedroom, another full bathroom, and a small guest room. We all went to the guest room, since it was where we held most of our important meetings.
"S-So what did y-you want t-to say S-Sasuke?" Hinata asked quietly. "I'm not one hundred percent sure, but there's a possibility that I've found the heiress."
"The lost daughter of the Lord and Lady Hokousha—vampire King and Queen?" Sakura asked. I nodded my head and her jaw dropped a little bit. "You think its Yoru?" she asked.
"Yes. I know that we've only known her a month but some strange things happened today," I started. Sakura stared at me and asked in her usual dramatic girl voice, "Did you kiss her?"
"Wha—No!" I said stunned that she'd say that. "Maybe you should then you'll know if she's a vampire or not when she starts nipping at your lips and drinking your blood," she continued in her pretend scary-storyteller voice.
"Sakura this is serious! I'm not joking about her, I really think she's the one." I glared at Sakura and she lost her playful expression. "Sorry Sasuke," she said with her head down.
"W-why do you t-think that S-Sasuke?" Hinata asked. "For one, she's been having the same dream as me and from what she tells me it's repetitive. Another and probably the biggest is the fact that her silver moon necklace fits perfectly into mine."
"Like how my copper sun fits into Hinata's bronze one?" Naruto asked. "Yes, like that. Remember I told you that I'd tried to put them together earlier, Naruto?" He nodded his head and I continued, "Well that's when I found out they were a perfect match and they even have a magnetic attraction to each other."
"W-well then she has t-to b-be the heiress. You're an heir a-and your n-necklace will only f-fit into one other n-necklace and if it f-fit hers then s-she's the heiress." Hinata knew what she was talking about, after all it was her who'd given us the information in the first place. Naruto still had an expression that said: I don't believe you, but he remained silent along with Sakura.
With our meeting over, the four of us piled back into Naruto's car and he left his house to drop us off.
…Yoru's POV…
I'd gotten into my house to find my dad throwing me an early birthday party. "Dad, my birthday's tomorrow not today." He looked up at me and sighed. "I know but you'll have all of your friends with you tomorrow. I want us to celebrate as a family before everyone else comes. Is that okay with you?"
I'd zoned out while he was talking. Should I ask him now or wait until he brings it up. Then again he might not--. My thoughts were cut short as he asked, "Yoru are you okay?"
"I—uh yeah dad." I couldn't figure out how to say it. Um yeah dad my memory just suddenly got sparked up and I was wondering if I was a vampire. That would be so stupid. Besides if I am he'll tell me right. Right?
"Okay then…Well after we eat cake and ice cream I have something really important to tell you." My heart started racing as he said this. Is he going to say what I'm afraid he might say? I asked myself.
I pushed off the feeling and said, "Okay." Then I sat down at the table while he cut the small ice cream cake and gave me the first piece. "I won't bother you by singing the Happy Birthday song but I will say: Happy Birthday Yoru." "Thanks Dad."
We ate our cake and then had a small bowl of ice cream before he called me into the living room and I sat on the couch with him. He folded his hands together and looked away from me. Whatever he was about to say wasn't easy for him. I waited patiently for him to speak with my knees crossed and my hands in my lap. "Yoru, there is something about you that I've been holding back for the right time," he started but stopped to take a hard breath. He poured himself a glass of wine from the bottle on the table in front of the couch.
After a short pause he continued to speak. "I never told you much about your parents only that they were murdered and you were adopted. The truth is that your parents were…royalty of a sort. Therefore you are royalty as well, which is why you are so rich."
He pointed to my necklace and said, "You must know that you are hunted by someone so evil that he could take the life of his own parents and then yours, completely destroying the royal families that once lived in peace with each other. When you find the person that wears a necklace with the rest of that moon and fits perfectly into yours, you will know that you have found the brother of this man. I am not sure if he can be trusted or not, that is for you to decide." He took another pause and sipped on his glass of wine.
"He will either be helping his brother and attempt to kill you or he will protect you from his brother and…and love you. That is your destiny, to be either loved or hated by this man and that will be the real start of your life. When you find him, it is up to you to decide whether he is evil or good. That is all I know from what your mother told me before she died."
I had listened carefully to his explanation. Hadn't Sasuke put his necklace together with mine? "Is this what you wanted to tell me or is there more?" He looked me in the eyes and said, "There is more. You…are a vampire."
End: Ooo cliffie right okay next chap, will she crack and go off on her dad and will she lie to someone who is very close to her? Yoru faces the truth in the next chap, her truth, his truth, their truth. Read to find out what I mean.
